Form & Verdict

Sole win in 18 starts came in a Dundalk claimer (7f, Polytrack) in March, but he was having only his second outing for this yard when beaten less than 2l into third of 11 behind Wizarding over C&D 16 days ago; 2lb better off, but his old rival is much less exposed so another place may be his best hope from the widest stall.
